I posted on stable@ few days ago. No replies. So I posted again here. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rong-en Fan <grafan@gmail.com> Date: Dec 19, 2006 5:35 PM Subject: gpt device node does not show at boot To: "freebsd-stable@freebsd.org" <freebsd-stable@freebsd.org> I'm running 6.2-RC1 on i386. I use gpt(8) to partition my disk. After reboot, the device node, say da1p1, does not show up until 'gpt show da1' is issued. This prevents gpt partition being mounted from fstab, and therefore cannot be nfs exported at boot time! My kernel config is simply GENERIC+QUOTA+SMP. I also noticed that it is not possible to modify in-use disk's partition table. There is also a PR 85772 about it. Can someone comment on it? Thanks. Regards, Rong-En Fan
